The check, made out in late 1933, was drafted to and cashed by Conforli. But the stocky, 37 ycarold local official said he re membered nothing about it. Conforli said the "only explana tion I am inclined to make" is that the money went to Stuart for expenses of a trip to the Tourna ment of Roses on Ihe West Coast.

Tho crux of the matter was rcifched when the two board mem bers under fire were asked why they had failed to rehire custodian A. A. (Illu) Spencer and cook El len Markham. The custodian and cook will be replaced in July by Arthur Jones and Nora Denn. Schafer said the action had been taken on what he considered the recommendation of Supt. Principal J. Clyde Akcy. He said Akey had called Spencer a "very, very poor housekeeper." Akey jumped to his teet and ne nied tiie statement. He said he had recommended all nnn teaching per sonnel. He claimed he had said Ihe housekeeping wasn't the kind one would expect in his home, but it wasn't possible if an employe bad to do (he work of four men. The minutes of the meeting re vealed that the two board mem bers, Shafer and Cummings. had voted ngainsl rehiring the custod ian and cook', and the other three members had declined lo vote. Cummings was accosted at this point for failing lo veto "the will of the people." lie retorted that he "would not how down to pressure." He lashed out al what ho called "this two-hit petition" for recall, saying no one indicated strong fa vor in keeping the custodian and cook until after Ihe failure to re hire. Then he said the opposition came lo Ihe fore in the form of a "pressure group meeting." (It was at this meeting a straw vote was taken unhealing heavy favor fur recall.) Ted Ileilm.in, one of the leaders of Ihe recall movement, claimed another reason for recall was al leged efforts by the two board members to malign the suiienn- Itendent. He said Cummings had said that "if Akey stays, we will lose our coach and teachers." Cum mings replied thai it had been "my information that they might quit " The hoard made no renew al oi Akey s contract, but he still has another year on his present contract. It was obvious strong delegations had turned up lor the Hireling from both sides of the dispute. Speaking against the petition, two people said some names had been secured ill a tavern. Ileilinan, own er of the tavern, said he new of no such instance. He said he had tile petition in the stole part of the building "only as a public service." Din ing the evening another hoard member, Wilinrr White wasj atked what he would do if Ihe two. 'men wore not recalled. "I won't I slay on." White replied. Hut some of the sting of that statement was' I relieved when White indicated he I niiuht not stay on in any case He Uaid he "might be able lo finish out the j ear" si ill remainini: in his term Presiding al the meeting was hoard chairman James Combs.

President Wins Partial Backing On Defense Bill WASHINGTON I President Eisenhower won a partial victory Thursday when the Senate For eign Relations Committee voted for a two-year program of military aid and defense support abroad. The committee decided to vole later on the question of how much ilhe administration will be allowed i to spend in those fields for either the tiscal year starting July 1 or the year starting July 1, 1958. Also to he considered later is the program for economic aid. which is separate from the defense support effort. .Members forecast sharp cuts be low the $1,900,000,000 Eisenhower asked for military assistance and the 900 million he wants for next year to help allies to maintain their defense commitments. They talked of cuts in the neighborhood of -1) billion dollars. The administration had sought permanent authority for military and defense support appropria tions. This would have eliminated the need lo come back to the For- eign Relations Committee in the i future for new authority, leaving I only the Appropriations Commit-1 tee to pass on the case for new funds Under the compromise worked out Thursday, the administration would not have to appear before the Foreign Relations Committee for these two forms of assistance next year unless it wants to raise the ceilings. j Rites For Pastor j Scheduled Friday at the Grants Pass" Assembly of God Church at 301 NE E SI.

Douglas Count Ills Certified As 1 Brucellosis Free ... ;.T,lr7irHZ ,. hrueellnsis-free area according to the State Department of Agricul ture. Following the completion of test' ing of 18,278 cattle in 2,616 herds in the county by federal and state veterinarians, tne area was ceru fled as brucellosis-free. Officials found 52 reactors among the cattle tested in the county for a very low .21 per cent, and 11 herds in fected for a .41 per cent. A 14th county, Umatilla, has been completely tested and is now await ing certification. Officials have set a tentative target date for completion of the entire brucellosis testing program in Oregon June 30, 1959. However, this date is contingent upon several factors, foremost of which is the speed with which the bordering states of Nevada and California complete their programs in bor dering counties where there is heavy traffic in cattle between the i states. If the programs in these two stales progress at the same rate as that in Oregon, officials feel this completion date can be reached. Red River Still Threatens, But Dam Lake Crests FIAT 1 AC Tov m Tho nnnl 1 lng Ked Rlver threatened botloi land farmers in three states Thursday, but Lake Texoma was falling and torrential rains on the Red River watershed had stopped. Texoma, which sits astride the Texas-Oklahoma border, crested at 643.15 feet above sea level at 7 p.m. Wednesday night, held that level until midnight, then started falling. It was still sending 95,000 cubic feet of water per second roaring over the spillway at Denison into the Red River, however, and the Army Engineers isaid the rate would be continued until the lake was down to 640 feet, the level of its flood pool. Scattered rain and thunder storms lashed the Texas gulf coast Thursday, with 1.02 inches falling at Corpus Christi. But the Weather Bureau offered the prospect of a letup in the tor - rential rains that have pushed the Red River out of its banks along I tne Texas-Oklahoma boundary and in parts of Arkansas Thousands of acres of bottom land along the Red River were under water. Farmers were pre paring for a crest of 30 feet by noon Saturday at Index, Ark., some 15 miles north of Texarkana, Tex.

B. Fox. A budget hearing has been set June 27. The budget amount outside the 6 per cent limitation was turned down a second time last week, and the budget committee began slic ing Tuesday night. After a lengthy session, attend ed by 25 people, the committee pared $12,200 from the $125,925.15 outside the 6 per cent limitation. This means voters will decide on S112.871.15. These were the cuts made: 1. In view of a slight drop in population, it was decided the grade school could get along with one less teacner. it also was decid ed that two teachers with less teaching experienc could be se cured for less money. Saving: $4, 500. 2. The board sliced $1,000 from supplies and repairs and a similar amount from the emergency fund. 3. A $1,200 item was cut from the $14,000 estimated for repair of a dry rot condition in the floor and under pinnings of the elementary school buildings. The committee also took a chance on more income than it had ori ginally estimated. It now iestimatcs an additional $4,500 can be added to income safely. One of the items was an estimated increase in income from cafeteria sourc es. It has originally been set at $13,500. but now has been upped to $15,000. Finally, it is expected that Ihe ad valorem tax offset from basic school funds may further reduce the budget, Mrs. Fox says.
